Baby Shower

This picture needs some explanation, but basically we were taking a picture and right before we said "cheese" Marcelo planted a big kiss on Lydia. Ben didn't get the kiss on camera, but he did get the reaction.

My two favorite men!
Eating a yummy Puerto Rican pastry!

One of my favorite things about Puerto Rico is how much the local people here value relationships. We were recently invited to our neighbor's baby shower, and it was quite the cultural experience (in a good way). We arrived an hour late, and we were some of the first people there. Ben went with me as well as the kids, because when I called to say I would be coming I was told that my whole family should come as well. I am used to going to a baby shower that is a room full of women and lasts maybe an hour or two. Well, not this baby shower! We arrived around 3:00 and we were on our home a little before 7:00.

It was a lot of fun, and we enjoyed spending some time out in the campo (country). It was nice to get out of the city and also to spend time with our neighbors and their family. We left very motivated to learn more Spanish! We hope to spend some more time with our neighbors soon. Their little girl is here and she is beautiful. What a joy our friendship has been with this family!!!
